Wonderful with flaws

Wonderful car, fabulous on the highway or in the city, good engine noise down low, and a great throaty roar up top. Short wheelbase makes parking a breeze but sacrifices ride comfort and interior space. 5 people is a squeeze unless one or more is a small child. fun to drive in the city, corners well when not driving extremely aggressively, perfect for whipping around backstreets. However, when you really push it it does feel like it will roll, which is a sacrifice made to provide ground clearance for off roading. Speaking of off roading, this thing can handle anything a sensible person can throw at it. Indiana snow is no match for the 4-wheel drive, weather in low or high settings.
Love my go cart!

Very reliable! I am the 2nd owner now have over 336,000 miles! Body is starting to go & will be sad to let it go. Hugs the road & feel safe driving in snow. I actually love driving in winter with good tires. Great reliable long lasting safe vehicle! Love my Jeep! Not best on mpg but worth it.

Nice Truck but Terrible Mileage

I have to wonder what vehicles other reviewers drove before their liberty to consider the abysmal mileage in the Jeep to be good. I average under 18 mpg highway, driving 65 or under. That's TERRIBLE mileage. It's MUCH worse in the city especially in winter, expect 10 mpg. I've heard many other Liberty owners complain of the same lousy mileage. Using 4x4 mode is even worse. Full size V8 pick ups get better mileage. The four speed auto is reliable but needs more gears. It does ride well, and can tow 5000lbs which is great if you tow a lot. It feels peppy until 40 mph but sorta dies off due to a very tall second gear. It's a very loud motor when pressed hard for passing.
Saved me in a rollover

I loved loved loved my Jeep Liberty. I bought it at 108k and drove it for 2 years. I also drove it home, 500+ miles away at least once a month. The pickup and acceleration is slower than other cars, and the gas mileage was usually 20 mpg (highway). Weird noise in the rear breaks when he was running at ~30mph but it stopped over 40mph. Always had it since I changed the breaks.
Loretta the Liberty!

I adore my 2004 Jeep Liberty. She has been nothing but a great vehicle. The jeep has helped me move out of college (filled to the top with stuff) and the winters in Kutztown, Pennsylvania! This thing has driven through over a foot of heavy snow with NO issue. I have also taken it off roading on some pretty aggresive trails and for this being stock (newer aggressive tires only) it powered through! It has decent pick-up for merging onto highways and the turning radius is FANTASTIC. This car is reliable, safe and ready for whatever you throw at it!
